Quick-thinking New Zealanders managed to film the scene in Wellington while the powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Christchurch.
Their clips show flashes of green, white and blue in the sky over a span of a few seconds.
Zachary Bell said he filmed a video at the peak of the shaking, noting that the sky began to light up with colours over the sea.
Another video posted on Instagram shows clear, bright flashes of light during the earthquake that killed two people and led to tsunamis.

People escaping from Davey Jones locker?
Cthulthu and the Old Ones.
Lovecraft was right.
Piezo-electricity.................
It seems to me that the movement of plates could theoretically affect that magnetic signature of the earth (at least regionally) and result in some kind of aurora. Just a guess, though.
I took a look at the quake pattern in NZ.
Unlike classic aftershocks, this looks more like a zipper pattern.
Very unusual and probably not a good sign.
Either will power was battling hope or maybe they just had an abundance of both.
It was transformers on power lines blowing, that is all, the same thing happened in Seattle a decade ago during a big earth quake. I watched them blow daisy chain style, huge explosions too.
Aliens.
Earthquakes, volcanoes Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave. Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together mass hysteria.
John Kerry was to be in New Zealand on the 12th and 13th. Any sightings?
Trump’s fault.
It’s on video for anyone to see.
Ben, I wrote a news article for the American Weather Observer back in the late 1980s that described this phenomenon. It is called the piezo-electric effect. When pressure is placed on rock it produces electro-static light which comes in an array of colors; mostly blue and green.
Isn’t nature amazing?
A case for Dirk Gently.
I thought the same thing. Zippers can be the precursor to some really bad events. As if 7.4 isn’t bad enough. I sent an email off to the local sesmo guy at the University asking if he thought this was a zipper. He is about 50% on answering my occasional emails, we will see.
I saw a documentary on his a while ago. It is likely caused by bedrock becoming semi conductive under massive pressure.
No! R'lyeh?
